Nintendo still in the lead by a country mile, as usual. Nothing has changed in the past five years.

Over 70.000 hardware units and over 400.000 game copies more sold last week than the next respective competitors (Sony/EA).

Is this serious? I can't tell.

Okay, you think there's something wrong with this too. Thought i was out of line with my response for a sec.

It's ironic that out of all posts in this thread mine seems to be the strangest or most questionable one.

According to VGC data last week alone Nintendo sold over 400.000 game copies more than their next competitor as publisher (EA). A slow summer week and Nintendo sells more than double the amount of self-publsihed software than the world's 2nd most successful console/handheld publisher for that week. Another figure: In June Nintendo sold - according to VGC data - 2.7 million more games as a publisher than the #2 publisher of that month (again EA). These publisher breakdowns are available every week, but never posted in sales threads and not very popular on VGC it seems.

Nintendo has 2 inside tracks with the publishing though, they make the console and already know the ins and outs and get hte best dev kits for free and can use their hardware moves to push software and they don't have any competition on thewii because 3rd party games suck on it and it has very little third party support
